Hello from Sunday night, and happy Mother’s Day

May 10, 2015

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in North America who celebrated today. I had the most marvellous time. Chloe and I took a long drive out to the old ship yards by the river and had lunch with my mother and my son at a new to us restaurant called The Blue Canoe. We couldn’t get any reservations at our usual fish and chips place out here, but it didn’t matter, this little restaurant was lovely.

After lunch we walked out onto the docks with the thought of maybe buying a fresh fish. Just then there was a sea gull commotion, as only sea gulls can manage, and we saw a very large sea lion thrashing a fish on the surface of the water, as a bald eagle looked down from the mast of one of the fishing boats. Just lovely.

Ice cream for desert and a nice walk along the river.

Just about a perfect mother’s day for me. How was your day? Your weekend? Hope you had a lovely time. 😀

What a great Mother’s Day celebration, full of family and live entertainment. Great photos of the bald eagle, the commotion of gulls and that seal! I also love the top you/Chloe? are/is wearing in the first photo.

Hello Veronica
We had a nice lunch out at Jack Astor’s (not sure if they’re out west) with our youngest daughter and children. I like your day too with a seafood lunch and ambling along the waterfront afterwards to see the docked boats and goings on.
Thanks for your visit and linking to Mosaic Monday.

Such a special day for you all Veronica and some beautiful photos for your album!
It looks like the perfect spot for a family outing – I love seaside villages with the boats and wildlife!
I didn’t imagine seeing a Bald Eagle on the coast – don’t ask me why!
Very Special.
